Safety evaluation was conducted， and comparisons were made in terms of carotid artery stenosis rate， plaque regression efficacy， and traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） syndrome efficacy. ResultCompared with the results before treatment， both groups showed significant reductions in IMT， plaque number， maximum plaque area， and maximum plaque cross-sectional thickness （P<0.05）. After treatment， the observation group exhibited more significant reductions in the above indicators compared with the control group （P<0.05）. After treatment， Crouse scores， plaque vulnerability scores， and phlegm-stasis combination syndrome scores in both groups were lower than those before treatment （P<0.05）. After treatment， the observation group had lower scores in these indicators than the control group （P<0.05）. In terms of blood lipid levels， both groups showed decreases in TC， TG， and LDL-C levels， and an increase in HDL-C levels after treatment compared to those before treatment （P<0.05）. The observation group exhibited greater improvements in these lipid parameters than the control group （P<0.05）. Inflammatory markers NLR， MLR， IL-6， and hs-CRP significantly decreased in both groups after treatment compared with those before treatment （P<0.05）. The observation group showed more significant reductions in these markers than the control group after treatment （P<0.05）. After treatment， both groups demonstrated decreases in levels of ET-1， vWF， PTX3， and Gal-3， along with an increase in NO levels compared with those before treatment （P<0.05）. The observation group showed more significant improvements in these markers than the control group after treatment （P<0.05）. After treatment， the observation group had a lower carotid artery stenosis rate than the control group （P<0.05）. The plaque regression efficacy rate was 51.72% （30/58） in the observation group， and the total effective rate of TCM syndrome was 84.48% （49/58）， both of which were higher than 18.64% （11/59） and 52.54% （31/59） in the control group （χ²=10.061， 13.799， P<0.05）.

Association of asymmetric dimethylarginine with the pathological process of persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn / 中国当代儿科杂志

OBJECTIVES@#To study the change in asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) in the circulation system of full-term infants with persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN) and its association with treatment response, as well as the possibility of ADMA as a therapeutic target and a marker for treatment response.@*METHODS@#A prospective study was performed. A total of 30 full-term neonates who were diagnosed with PPHN within 3 days after birth were enrolled as the PPHN group, and the neonates without PPHN, matched for gestational age and age, who were treated or observed in the department of neonatology were enrolled as the control group. Serum samples were collected on days 1, 7, and 14 of treatment. The high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry was used to measure the serum concentrations of L-arginine, ADMA, and its isomer symmetric dimethylarginine (SDMA).@*RESULTS@#For the neonates in the control group, the serum concentrations of ADMA and L-arginine continuously increased and the serum concentration of SDMA continuously decreased within the first 14 days of treatment. On days 1 and 14, there was no significant difference in the serum concentration of ADMA between the control and PPHN groups (P>0.05). On day 7, the PPHN group had a significantly higher serum concentration of ADMA than the control group (P<0.05), while there were no significant differences in serum concentrations of SDMA or L-arginine (P>0.05). Moreover, after 7 days of treatment, the PPHN neonates with a systolic pulmonary arterial pressure (sPAP) of >35 mmHg had a significantly higher serum concentration of ADMA than those with an sPAP of ≤35 mm Hg.@*CONCLUSIONS@#There are continuous increases in the ADMA concentration and the ADMA/SDMA ratio in the circulation system of full-term infants within the first 2 weeks after birth, and this process is accelerated by the pathological process of PPHN, suggesting that ADMA may be involved in the pathologic process of PPHN. A high level of ADMA is associated with the resistance to PPHN treatment, suggesting that inhibition of ADMA might be a potential target of drug intervention to improve the treatment response of PPHN.

Protective effects and mechanism of icariin against vascular function in diabetic mice / 中国药科大学学报

@#To explore the effects and molecular mechanism of icariin on the vascular function of mice with type 1 diabetes induced by alloxan, type 1 diabetic mice model was established by intraperitoneal injection with 200 mg/kg alloxan.After oral administration with icariin (60, 120 mg/kg) daily for 2 weeks, blood glucose, body weight, food intake and water intake were detected.To evaluate the impact of icariin on the function of isolated vascular ring contraction and relaxation, thoracic aortas of mice were removed and the Ach-induced vascular ring relaxation, Phe-induced vascular ring contraction, SNP-induced vascular ring relaxation and KCl-induced vascular ring contraction response were detected.To further confirm the mechanism of icariin to improve vascular function, human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were induced by high glucose (HG) in vitro.Western blot was used to detect the effect of icariin on eNOS, p-eNOS, p38 MAPK and p-p38 MAPK expressions in HG-induced human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs).The results indicated that icariin significantly ameliorated the weight loss and dampened the increase in water intake of the diabetic mice.Meanwhile, icariin had a certain ameliorative effect on blood glucose and food intake without significant difference.The results of isolated thoracic aortas vascular rings contraction and vasodilation function indicated that icariin significantly improved Phe-induced vascular contraction and Ach‐induced vascular relaxation.Meanwhile, icariin had a certain ameliorative effect on KCl-induced vascular contraction response without significant difference.However, no significant change was observed on endothelium‐independent vascular rings relaxation response induced by SNP after treatment with icariin.Results of Western blot showed that icariin inhibited the expression of p-p38 MAPK and induced expression of p-eNOS in the high glucose-induced HUVECs cell model.Therefore, icariin may attenuate alloxan-induced type 1 diabetic mice vascular diastolic function by inhibiting expression of p-p38 MAPK and inducing expression of p-eNOS.

Evaluation of diagnostic efficacy of artery elasticity and endothelial function indexes for coronary heart disease with blood stasis syndrome in postmenopausal women by Logistic regression combined with ROC curve model / 中国中药杂志

The present study explored the correlation of coronary heart disease(CHD) with blood stasis syndrome in postmenopausal women with artery elasticity and endothelial function indexes and evaluated the diagnostic efficacy of the prediction model via logistic regression and receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curve model. A retrospective comparison was made between 366 postmenopausal CHD patients from August 1, 2020, to September 30, 2021, in the Department of Cardiology of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine of China-Japan Friendship Hospital, who were divided into the blood stasis syndrome group(n=196) and the non-blood stasis syndrome group(n=170). General clinical characteristics of the two groups were compared. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to probe the correlation of CHD with blood stasis syndrome in postmenopausal women with brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity(baPWV), ankle-brachial index(ABI), and flow-mediated dilatation(FMD), and the ROC curve was drawn to evaluate the diagnostic efficiency of the prediction model. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the correlation coefficients of CHD with blood stasis syndrome in postmenopausal women with baPWV, ABI, and FMD were 1.123, 0.109, and 0.719, respectively(P=0.004, P=0.005, P<0.001),and the regression equation for predicting probability P was P=1/[1+e~(-(3.131+0.116×baPWV-2.217×ABI-0.330×FMD))]. ROC curve analysis suggested that in the context of baPWV≥19.19 m·s~(-1) or ABI≤1.22 or FMD≤9.7%, it was of great significance to predict the diagnosis of CHD with blood stasis syndrome in postmenopausal women. The AUC of baPWV, ABI, FMD, and prediction probability P was 0.763, 0.607, 0.705, and 0.836, respectively. The AUC of prediction probability P was higher than that of each index alone(P<0.001), and the sensitivity and specificity were 0.888 and 0.647, respectively. The results demonstrate that baPWV, ABI, and FMD are independently correlated with CHD with blood stasis syndrome in postmenopausal women, and show certain independent predictive abilities(P<0.05). The combined evaluation of the three possesses the best diagnostic efficiency.

Effect of oral vitamin C ingestion on the vascular endothelial function and oxidative stress marker exposed to after transient heat-not-burn tobacco smoking / 体力科学

Heat-not-burn (HNB) tobacco smoking has spread throughout the market. While it is suggested that HNB tobacco smoking reduces the vascular endothelial function and is associated with a high risk of developing cardiovascular disease. The antioxidant of vitamin C may attenuate the unfavorable effects of HNB tobacco smoking. In the present study, we examined the effect of oral vitamin C ingestion on the flow-mediated dilation (FMD) at the brachial artery and oxidative stress markers in patients before and after transient HNB tobacco smoking. Twelve healthy adult males underwent high-resolution ultrasonography of the brachial artery and evaluations of reactive oxygen metabolites (d-ROMs) and the biological antioxidant potential (BAP) before and after a single session of HNB smoking. FMD was used to examine the endothelial function and the oxidative stress and antioxidant status were determined by using a FRES4 analyzer. In this randomized, crossover, controlled trial, measurements were performed on 2 different days 20 min after the oral administration of 1000 mg of ascorbic acid (VC trial) or a placebo (P trial). Although the FMD values decreased after a single HNB smoking session in both trials, the VC trial showed significantly higher values than the P trial at 60 and 120 min after smoking. Whereas the FMD values 120 min after smoking in the P trial were lower compared to the Pre values, there was no difference in the VC trial. These results suggested that the ingestion of vitamin C might suppress the decrease in the endothelial function caused by a single HNB smoking.

Effect of vitamin C ingestion on the vascular endothelial function exposed to transient passive smoking / 体力科学

As well as active smoking, passive smoking is associated with a high risk of developing cardiovascular disease. The antioxidant vitamin C may inhibit the unfavorable effects of passive smoking. In this study, we investigated the effects of vitamin C ingestion on changes in the flow-mediated dilatation (FMD) at the brachial artery in patients exposed to transient passive smoking. The study participants included seven healthy adult males who were examined by high-resolution ultrasonography of the brachial artery before and after 15-minute of passive smoking. FMD was used to examine the endothelial function. Randomized crossover controlled trial, measurements were performed on two different days 120-minute after the oral administration of 1000mg of ascorbic acid (VC trial) or a placebo (P trial). Although the FMD values decreased after passive smoking in both trials, the FMD values of the VC trial were higher than those of the P trial, with significant differences between the trials observed immediately and 30-minute after passive smoking. The results of this study suggested that the ingestion of vitamin C may suppress the decrease in the vascular endothelial function caused by transient passive smoking.

Objective: To investigate the effect of multi-stent assisted coil embolization for blood blister-like aneurysms (BBA) and the impact on vascular endothelial function. Methods: Multi-stent assisted coil embolization was performed on 31 patients with internal carotid artery BBA. The effect of embolization was evaluated with Raymand classification on the day after operation. And the prognosis was evaluated using modified Rankin scale (mRS) 28 days and 3 months postoperatively during follow-up. The levels of plasma endothelin-1 (ET-1), von Willebrand factor (vWF) and serum nitric oxide (NO) in peripheral blood of patients were compared before and 1 week after operation through statistical methods. Results: The technical success rate of multi-stent assisted coil embolization was 93.55% (29/31). Among 29 patients who underwent successful BBA embolization, Raymand classification results showed that the effective rate of embolization (proportion of grade and Ⅱ) was 100% (29/29) with 22 cases of grade and 7 cases of grade Ⅱ. Twenty-eight days after operation, mRS showed good prognosis (grade 0-2) in 68.97% (20/29) patients, incluing 5 cases of grade 0, 8 cases of grade 1 and 7 cases of grade 2. And the proportion of good prognosis was 75.86% (22/29) 3 months after operation, with 7 cases of grade 0, 12 cases of grade 1 and 3 cases of grade 2. The levels of ET-1 ([518.38±22.91]pg/ml vs [550.32±28.57]pg/ml, t=-4.848, P<0.001), vWF ([1.66±0.20]ng/ml vs [1.86±0.29]ng/ml, t=-3.161, P=0.002) significantly increased, while the serum NO level significantly decreased ([37.40±4.88]nmol/ml vs [33.02±4.24]nmol/ml, t=3.796, P<0.001) 1 week after operation compared with preoperative results in all 31 patients. Conclusion: Multi-stent assisted coil embolization for the treatment of internal carotid artery BBA is effective, but may bring certain adverse impact on postoperative vascular endothelial function.
